PCB holder (height adjustable). Thus the card is firmly kept in place during high mechanical load (shock and vibrations). 8. Close the KISS 4U-Platform and secure the cover with the captive knurled screws.
Leave at least 5 cm (1.969 ") of free space in front and behind the unit to prevent the device from possibly overheating! The KISS 4U Platform should be installed into a 19" industrial cabinet with slide rails. The 19" industrial cabinet must stand firmly in place. You can improve its stability by placing the components into it from the bottom up.
Power Cord Connection The AC power plug / DC screw terminals of the PSU (depending on the configuration of your system) is located on the rear side of the KISS 4U-Platform. AC Connection AC power plug Fig.
Starting Up DC Connection The DC version of the KISS 4U platform is equipped with a +24V DC PSU (with three screw terminals and without an ON/OFF power switch). The KISS 4U (DC version) is designed without a disconnecting device!
Starting Up Operating System and Hardware Components Drivers The KISS 4U system can optionally be supplied with or without a pre- installed operating system. If you have ordered your system with a pre- installed operating system, all drivers are installed, corresponding to the ordered computer configuration (optional hardware components).
Maintenance and Prevention Maintenance and Prevention Kontron Embedded Computers systems require minimal maintenance and care to keep them operating correctly. ❏ Occasionally wipe the system with a soft dry cloth. ❏ You should only remove persistent dirt by use of a soft, slightly damp cloth (use only a mild detergent).
❏ part number of the fan slide-in module: 0-0084-3604 The fan slide-in module may be changed while the KISS 4U- Platform is powered-up. This maintenance should only be carried out by service personnel or users suitably instructed and sufficiently informed about the associated dangers.
